  • But today we're throwing down on one of Michael's favorites, Topo G.

  • All right, check out this topo G.

  • Mm that's also itself is not too spicy.

  • It is doable, but maybe, like people that don't like really used to spicy sauce.

  • And maybe you don't want to stay away from this, but it is good.

  • I like spicy, but the same time it's like a mix between a savory and a sweet.

  • It's not like super salty, and it's not super sweet.

  • It's like it's just like in the middle.

  • Like the best way I could describe it is like mochi with a Korean twist, like a spicy twist.

  • Alright, so top is my favorite street food.

  • It's used to be way too spicy for me when you eat it in Korea.

  • Oh, this has green on it.

  • Right here.

  • Also has old then.

  • Thank you, Moss.

  • Okay.

  • Yeah.

  • I don't find now smooth, sticky, but it's so soft.

  • Feel good.

  • It is spicy, like the sauce itself is not as sticky as you can see.

  • Really Like watery sauce compared to like things out there.

  • And number six duck Albie from Peco Tip on The coffee shops littered the streets of K town these days due to the trendy popularity.

  • So this case down to two, would not be complete if I didn't recommend one of my favorite DUCALI restaurants.

  • That's amazing.

  • Chicken is tender and it just wrapped around with all that cheese.

  • And I had a piece of onion in there that just covered the flavors like you almost feel like It's like, really junkie, but I think it is pretty junky.

  • It feels like eating like a thing of nachos with all the cheese.

  • It's just so good.

  • What's nice about the cheese is that it balances out the flavors because it could be too spicy with just a sauce alone.

  • But when you add the cheese, it kind of mellows out kick.

  • I don't know what we might have to tap out after this, because this is like so much food.

  • All right, one thing before I let you guys go.
